Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for PC & PlayStation

I have a Arctis Nova Pro Wireless header that I bought refurbished almost 2 years ago. 2 years may not be a lot, but I use them a ton for work and pleasure, at least 8-10 hours a day during the week, probably a couple hours on the weekend. It's technically a gaming headset, but I use it mostly for work and music. They're a solid 8/10. Retail price is about $350 (I got them for like $120 on eBay) and the sound quality is shit for that price point. It's fine, but there's a lot of low end missing. You can change out the ear pads and it has hot swappable batteries.I usually have to change the battery every day and a half. The other negative is it only has a directional microphone on a retractable boom, so you have to have it out in front of your face to talk. If it had an omni-directional mic that you could use with the mic retracted, it would be fantastic. I don't mind the mic when I'm at my desk, but I don't want it out when I'm out of the house or on a plane or something. Pros are the batteries and the fact it can connect to two devices simultaneously (actually 4, kinda). I have it connected to my personal PC and my work laptop. I can take calls on my work computer and can have music/whatever on my PC without changing inputs. I can also connect my work phone to my work computer and my personal phone to my PC and talk calls from those through the computer and thus, my headset, so 4 devices simultaneously without switching inputs. Super convenient when you're at your desk all day. If they could get Bose quality sound and an omni-directional mic, these would be $500 headphones and I would 100% pay for it.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Gaming Headset https://share.google/bSLPelkgJjWsyx1Te I’ve bought and tried almost every high dollar ($100-$300 Range) headset you can think of, and the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro is the best one. What make it stand out to me is it comes with a 2nd battery that charges up in the base so you just take a magnetic cover off and swap the batteries out to have a fully charged headset in seconds. Sound quality is great as well as mic… Plus it has sidetone so you can hear yourself and anything outside of the headset.

I have that one as well, it is a very good headset, but upgrading to the Pro was worth it for spare battery that can be swapped out in seconds!

No such thing as BIFL gaming headsets but my first SteelSeries lasted me 6 years and still works, but I wanted to upgrade to the Nova Pro Wireless for the battery swap feature (infinite power). That feature alone is worth it. You never run out of battery because while one is in use in the headset, the other one is charging in the dock. If you run out, you switch them and you’re good to go. Sound is great.

I love my nova pro wireless. It does standard lossless via the dac for music. And with its software, has presets for many games. The leather cups are great but don’t fit well on my ears so I got cushion ones from Amazon and they work perfect for long periods 12+ hours. Battery lasts 10+ hours and the dac has a built in battery charger

It is very convenient. And yes I’d suggest getting extra batteries if you get them. I notice the dac charges it way faster than a cable also. The software in general works. The only thing I don’t like about the software is you need an account to unlock its full potential. No connection issues unless you’re standing next to a microwave. The 2.4ghz mode has either a fast mode or a long range mode. So there’s options there, and since it has 2 outputs I have one on my ps and the other on pc and the switching is seamless right away but cannot play both simultaneously, that’s probably the only thing that “would be nice” to have. But you can play bt audio while you’re connected to wireless like id listen to podcasts from my phone while im gaming etc. Also the anc is pretty optimal, I’d compare it to AirPods Pro 2s. More on the software, if you’re using on Mac, the Mac software version is somewhat limited on features that would be readily available on windows. I can’t really recall what they specifically were

I have these now, which is why I am here. The sound is cutting in and out really bad. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for them, run them down all the way and recharged them, they are just degrading nearly every day, and people only get the 2nd or 3rd word when we speak.

Thank u I sent back the artic nova pro cuz feels overly and unnecessarily loud and got the delta 2 rn mic is good but sound is lower cant decide whether to get cloud 3 or alpha since thinking abt going little cheaper since the over 200 i have spent feel disappointing

Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless… zero complaints
